Mean variance utility portfolio optimization

English Bus/Financial Finance (general) Portfolio Theory
Title of a graphic, shown as the result of the application of two criteria: on one side, 1-month Expected Return, on the other side Historical Co-variance Matrix.

I think it has to do with Modern Portfolio Theory, but I'm not really sure what it means, and therefore how to translate it.

Thank you for any help you can provide!!

optimizing expected return on portfolio for a given level of risk

I think it means "optimizing expected return on portfolio for a given level of risk" or assembling portfolio of assets in such a way.
